Goodbye, Slobodan
You were such a splendid person
With your fatherly eyes and your sturdy build
Well, you got rid of
The bridge of Vukovar
But doing so you guarded the people
From the danger of collapse

And sometimes I think
Of the women who
Were raped by your soldiers
That's the price you paid
For the political power
And one hundred thousand Muslims
Whose life you took
These are the small sacrifices
You'll laugh about tomorrow

They called you the Butcher
And the executioner of Srebrenice
But people exaggerate
Always a little bit
But you kept your dignity
Until the end
Although first Yugoslavia
Had to disappear from the map

Thanks to your genius Europe has gained
Five holiday countries
And deep inside that makes me
verry happy
Goodbye, Slobodan
Half of the Balkans lies in ruins
But your hair parting is still perfectly straigt
On your polished vertex
Oh, how peacefully you'll rest
In your own backyard
